Description
To honor the legacy of Clifton Chenier – AKA The King of Zydeco – on what would have been his 100th birthday, Valcour Records gathered an all star cast of Louisiana musicians and global household names like The Rolling Stones, Lucinda Williams, Taj Majal, Steve Earle, and more to honor Clifton’s influence and his uncanny ability to unite traditionalists, rock ‘n’ rollers and Louisiana with the rest of the world. We hope you enjoy our tribute to the undisputed King of Zydeco, recorded in Lafayette, Louisiana, where even the “crawfish got soul!
All profits from the sale of this album will be donated to the Clifton Chenier Memorial Scholarship Fund, created by Valcour Records with the Center for Louisiana Studies at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The fund will offer annual financial assistance to students studying Traditional Music, specifically Zydeco accordion, at the university.
